Corsair HX6202x HDs (seagates, one a 10th generation and the other an 11th)1x DVDROM4x120 mm Tricool fans (came with the p182 case) all on low1x120 mm S-Flex SFF21F (1600 RPM) on the HS1x40 mm silent fan on the NB

That's it... no other hardware (speakers, monitor, etc.) was in the loop.

No real point to this post beyond just trivial information! It is interesting to me that the large FFTs consistently read 3-4 watts higher than the small ones did which is inline with the software's description of the large FFTs as generating the max heat/power consumption. Here is the similar analysis of my older Q6600-based system, but there are too many changes (MB, settings, video board, memory, etc.) for a "which processor is more power efficient" comparison.

What is little bit crazy is that both systems draw the same while idle, and even @ 3.4 GHz, and faster memory, the X3360-based system uses less wattage on p95.
